What is the difference between OEM and ODM? Which should I choose?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) means you provide a complete design, and we are responsible for production according to the drawings. ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) means you provide a concept and requirements, and we provide a complete solution from design to manufacturing.
If you already have a mature design, choose OEM; if you want to start from scratch or quickly modify an existing solution, ODM is more efficient. Our team can assess the best path for you.

What is the typical collaboration process? How long does it take from idea to mass production?
The standard process please check above section “How to Start Cooperation”. The time depends on the product complexity. Customization based on a mature solution usually takes 3-5 months to reach mass production, while entirely new design projects usually take 6-12 months. We will develop a detailed project timeline for you.
-
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
The MOQ depends on the product complexity and degree of customization. For standard solutions, the MOQ can be as low as 3000-5000 units; for deeply customized projects, the MOQ may be higher. We also provide small-batch trial production services for customers validating the market; please consult us for details.

What is your technical capability range? Can you implement our specific functions?
We possess full-stack technical capabilities in the fields of smart wearables and GPS positioning, including hardware design, embedded systems, low-power algorithms, positioning engines, and APP/cloud platform integration. Please describe your functional requirements in as much detail as possible during the requirements phase (e.g., specific sensors, waterproof rating, positioning accuracy, battery life requirements), and our engineering team will assess feasibility and provide professional solutions.

How do I select the software solution?
It depends on your current business stage, IT teams' capability and final goal.
(1) If you just start this business, consider the budget and fast reactive, we suggest use our white label platform and apps or third-party platform (most of them charge monthly fee).
(2) If concept approval want build your own brand but budget limited, customize platform and app from us or third-party (most of them accept customize as well) are good option.
(3) If your company or team has experience on mobile applications develop but not enough budget or lack of experience on platform engine, use our API is good solution to build your own brand fast but no need rent server or maintenance.
(4) If you already have a mature IT team and want all data full control by yourself, integrate communication protocol is the best way for you.

What does the quotation include? How do you control costs?
A transparent quotation should include: hardware BOM costs, mold fees, R&D design fees, testing and certification fees, and production and assembly fees. We strictly control costs for you through three key aspects: solution selection optimization, supply chain procurement, and manufacturing process optimization. Providing your target price during the initial communication will help us recommend the most cost-effective solution.
-
How do you guarantee product quality and consistency?
We implement a full-process quality management system: from IQC incoming material inspection, production line IPQC inspection, to finished product aging testing, reliability testing (drop/vibration/high/low temperature, etc.) and full inspection. We have a standardized testing laboratory and can provide detailed QC reports.
-
What certifications are required for the product? Can you assist in obtaining them?
Depending on the sales region, common certifications include: FCC (USA), CE (Europe), RoHS (environmental protection), IC (Canada), etc. We are your full-process certification partner with extensive certification experience. We can handle the entire process from preparing documents and submitting tests to obtaining certificates, ensuring your products are compliant for market launch.
-
Can you guarantee your production capacity and delivery time? Is your supply chain stable?
We have flexible production lines with a monthly production capacity of [please fill in a specific number, e.g., 100,000 units]. Delivery time is confirmed based on order volume and written into the contract. We have established strategic partnerships with core chip suppliers and maintain safety stock, while managing multiple backup suppliers to ensure supply chain resilience and stable delivery.
-
Can we conduct factory audits and quality inspections during the production process?
Absolutely. We encourage customers to conduct factory audits before mass production and arrange for third-party or your designated QC personnel to be stationed at the factory for inspections at key production nodes (such as trial production and the first batch of goods) to ensure that all standards are implemented.
-
How is after-sales support and technical support provided after mass production?
We offer comprehensive after-sales support: hardware defect analysis (FA) and repair/replacement policies, over-the-air (OTA) firmware upgrade support, and necessary technical documentation transfer. We view this partnership as a long-term commitment to continuously support your product iteration and market success.
